Well what can we say… its been way to long since the last public build and we apologize. There have been numerous private testing builds with the Operator Edition owners and they have provided tons of information on fixing bugs and provided suggestions on improving the game. It also made us realize that the internals of the game have reached a point where we need to refine our process a bit to better accommodate faster/cleaner iteration that allows us to get public builds out faster and with much less work on our end. We have taken care of that, but in the mean time WE HAVE A NEW BUILD!!!!!

Build Version 1013

Build 110810

Engine:4.11.2-0+UE4

Approximate Update size: 1.9GB

Steam build Id: 1275090

Known Issues

We are still not even to official Early Access yet so lots of things are half broken and not working. The biggest ones:

MP connectivity is spotty (may not connect or disconnect for no reason)
MP games have issues with correct loadout and kit items sometimes (May not get in game what you equiped in Ready Room)
We are in the process of rewriting how our gamemodes work and how our loadouts are replicated
Texture streaming issues in Operator Menu (very low resolution textures sometimes)

We made the decision to do this release knowing MP was half broken because there was so much other stuff in there. Hopefully we will have all that fixed up in a new build soon.

Terrorist Hunt

We plan to come up with a new name for this mode but for now its the easiest way to label it. Lots of work has been done and there are some new parameters available to mess with to fine tune some of the A.I. values if you like:

Terrorist Count – Hopefully explains itself
Terrorist Perception Delay – How much “alertness” the AI must feel before they consider something fully perceived
AI.FootstepWalkLoudness – How much of the “alertness” value is emitted with a walking footstep (attenuated by distance)
AI.FootstepRunLoudness – How much of the “alertness” value is emitted with a running footstep (attenuated by distance)
AI.FootstepNoiseRange – The maximum range allowed for any of the alertness values above
AI.WeaponFireVolume – How much of the “alertness” value is emitted with a single shot (attenuated by distance)
AI.WeaponFireNoiseRange – The maximum range allowed for any of the alertness values for shot value above
AI.IncomingFireActivation – How much “alertness” is perceived for an incoming fire (from the whizz/crack system)

So think of the Perception Delay as the bucket size and the other alertness values as filling the bucket up.

This game mode is also now available on the Depot map! This is a first pass at getting it working on a larger map so as with everything at this point, it is very rough. But it is a lot of fun!

TH does work in coop mode for some, though please see known issues above. If you want to try it there are some discussions in the forum about it.

Some new UI Items

In the Aircraft Takedown training map you can now reset your targets by walking up to the device next to the entry door and hitting the J key.

The RadialMenu has been updated a bit graphically (more to come) and we added a Drop option so you can basically get out of the menu without actually selecting anything. This will also eventually allow you to drop actual items on the ground.

The weapon customization menu now allows easier deleting of equipped attachments.

New loading screen(We would like to have no loading screens, but for now we do).

Gadgets and Weapons

We have started to remix the weapon sounds and the first one in the build is the MP5. Still lots of work in that area but it should give you a sense of where we are headed.

The wrist device was also added in for some prototype testing. The idea for this is to act as an information system to the player and his/her team. It *could* be used for displaying in game time, objective info, various maps and images. We haven’t locked down exactly what we want it to do just yet so you will be seeing some functionality tests with it over the next few months. At the moment it doesn’t do anything.

Breaching Doors

Some door breaching prototypes have been added, though they currently only work in single player. Players can shoot out locks or place and detonate breaching charges. Since this is currently a prototype the breaching charge controls are hard coded; When in a door’s interact mode (see door control text) NumPad-Zero places a breaching charge and NumPad-One will detonate it. Watch out, because the blast will cause damage if in its close vicinity! This will all be greatly enhanced in coming builds.

Performance

We have begun some optimization efforts, but still have a long way to go. Weapons, weapon attachments, characters and character gear all have proper LODs now. We are now beginning map optimization passes so you should see some small improvements in this build and more in followup builds.

Animation and Character Updates

Various weapon reload and movement animations were updated. We in the process of rebuilding our weapon collision system as well as adding a much more robust and realistic movement model. Hopefully that will be in the next build!

New player nametags on vests instead of the placeholder floating yellow text.

Coming Soon

Stand alone Dedicated Server! We are currently testing out a Windows stand alone dedicated server Tool on Steam that will be freely available to anyone that wants it. No need to purchase the game to run a server. This should be available in the next build.

If you want to see all the changes in their raw form here is a detailed changelist:

FIXED – Compile errors in Depot Landscape Material that were spitting out log errors

* instead of spawning player a 0,0,0, it will log the error, warn the player and leave them where they are.

A.I.

* Fixes to the AI perception system, so that enemies now have an activation threshold before they are considered “perceived”. Basically emulates a human response time. Values still need   tweaking. Also now the AI can properly forget their current target if they lose line of sight. TODO: Fix up the UE4 perception system to adapt this stuff so it doesn’t have to be   duplicated in the new perception component so much (should be a feature of the Perception system, so submit it as a pull request to Epic).

* Added new EQS *PointWithLosToEnemy* change for following threat
* Altered Terrorist BT to chase threat
* Made a few tweaks to game mode and test maps.
* Solo Terrorist Hunt Menu now has temporary setting for perception delay (larger number = slower perception)
* Added perception value scoring for sensing.
* Added BT task for resetting a vector
* Changed whizzcrack information to include who fired the shot so we can get location properly

* Upped sight sense distance on Terrorist Bot, minor tweaks to small town ai test map, added back debug info into perception component
* Fixed collision on terroristspawnvolume so AI does not get line of sight blocked by it
* Modified gameinstance with function for grenade handling of physics materials (returns the impact effect based on the hitresult physics material name) see M67_Frag for usage, code comes   from OnExplode event of BP_Grenade and BaseGrenade.
* Changes to AI perception handling. Now handles footsteps and muzzle flashes as well as perception scoring. Will be refactoring later. Initial check-in so we have a working base.
* Fixed a bunch of missing pragma once calls in order to help the non unity build (trying to fix build problems with ai component).
* Submitting tactical perception component befor applying some changes to UE4 class to make it simpler, just in case 🙂
* Updated door swing BP with noise values for AI perception to hear.
* Changes to AI perception:
* AI now percieves footsteps, weapon fire sounds and other audio events. Todo: door opening and grenade landing
* AI now can be flashed by a flashbang. Effect lasts for too long currently.
* All AI perceptions need values for effect, currently footsteps are heard “very strong” and need balancing versus perception threat evaluation of them

* Updated small town ai test map with some more character spawners
* Added “guard” command to characters, so they don’t actively seek out threats but are able to protect themselves when threats   are visible (more later)
* Fixed squad and guard position data to be passed by character spawner on spawn
* Updated Terrorist BT2 to handle guard command
* Updated SoloTerroristHunt and TerroristHunt game modes to randomize the fixed spawners used if less than total terrorist count
